milena04 When I saw the film, I was disappointed.Mr.Stuart is very expressive as photographer, what unfortunately I cannot say from his work as filmmaker.I have the impression he put picture to picture, but forgot content and message.It seems, he was lost in The Lost Door and had problems to make the story together.What I enjoyed:The music - original and emotional. And the characters of Kristina and Catherine: - credible and absolutely authentic.Thanks to the outstanding performance of Mikaela Fisher and Anna Bielska the film has a professional touch.With your abilities, Mr. Stuart and the talent of such actors you would be able to do an exceptional work in future.

Josh G The Lost Door is an erotic thriller that straddles the line between fantasy and reality. This interplay is already a dominant theme in Stuart's photography and it is explored in a new light with the added complexities of dialogue, motion and music. The driving energy of this film derives from imbalanced relationships- captor and inmate; teacher and student; lover and seducer... The roles of domination and submission are in continuous flux; fantasy and reality become alternately indistinguishable as characters surrender to their desires and then succumb to reason.The cast of actors perform passionately and Nicole Auberger is a particular standout- both for her endearing naivety and phenomenal beauty. The musical score heightens the romance and intrigue, with sudden pauses of silence applied to good dramatic effect. Quirky details indulge us with insight into Stuart's creative mind: carefully captured reflections off a pair of sunglasses, the odd line of dialogue in Chinese, the humor of a tree shaped like a vulva.The outtakes and supplemental scenes are a must-see, particularly the beggar who fakes an injured leg. Stuart likes to explore different fantasies in his work and the hot beggar is a good one. Anybody who has spent time around Paris will understand.This is a complex and multifaceted film, the type that you will want to watch at least once.

Erographic "The Lost Door" to me, is a poetic roller-coaster trip. What I mean by that, is that the viewer may be overwhelmed by the film. There is so much to see! You really need to see the film more than once to fully appreciate it. Kristina's memories, I call them "glimpses from her mind", are filmed in a visually beautiful way and accompanied with poems and great music, that is composed by Roy Stuart himself. I think they are pieces of art in themselves. I have seen "The Lost Door" several times now and I think it is a piece of art and a must see! The visuals, the sound and the story makes you think.
